Emergency teams and police launched a rescue operation using heavy machinery and manual efforts, but progress is hindered by hot iron dust. Two injured workers have been rescued and hospitalized in Bilaspur. Authorities are investigating the cause of the collapse, while Superintendent of Police Bhojram Patel confirmed ongoing rescue operations.
